Which OS are you using? Also can you check the Director server log if it's present, it should be at /var/log/cloudera-director-server/application.log

OS: Linux 7.2

That log file is not present 

Here are the only files in that location 

4 -rw-r--r--. 1 cloudera-director cloudera-director 307 Dec  6 23:17 cloudera-director-server.out
